I bought a rear bumper from a forum member, cut it flat to hang on my sons bedroom wall, just got it back from the paint shop tonight completely re-painted, installed all the lights and stuff and now I am going to work on lighting it up and hanging it soon. I'm into this thing almost $500. I know it's been done already but it's still freakin cool. What do ya think?

Cool, I see that Corvette Central has a smaller version of the same unit, lights & all (painted) for $299... my wife says I have no place to hang it... she's right! (Some things you just can't "sneak" by the wife !)
